Chapter 1729: h.e.l.lo, Chi You III
They knew that General’s granddaughter was giving birth, and then Feng Ruqing came out with the child…
His eyes flashed white, and he gritted his teeth.
‘Old Master was acting strangely, probably threatened by Nan Fang. These people have no way back, then if I… Work for Tian Ya, can he get rid of Nan Fang and return the Nan family to Old Master’s hands?’
A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, and as he saw one man continue to charge at Feng Ruqing and the others, he quickly drew his knife and slashed that man.
Blood burst out, spilling down from the sky.
The man turned his head in shock and looked at Rong Qi incredulously. “Rong… Rong Qi… You…”
Everyone in the Nan family stopped abruptly and looked at Rong Qi incredulously.
The old man who headed the group was filled with shock and fury. He then shouted harshly, “Rong Qi, how dare you to betray our master!”
Rong Qi sneered. “So what if I betray him? I can’t do anything in Nan City, but now this is the Nan family’s land and all of you… All of you have no way to return…”
“How is that possible?” The old man growled, “Don’t you dare accuse Master.”
“Oh, it seems that you don’t know. If Tian Ya is so easy to deal with, why did your master tolerate him for so many years? Have you ever thought about it? If we can return safely, why would he let me leave Nan City?”
“Bulls.h.i.+t!” The old man trembled with anger. “My master is only cruel to outsiders, but he is so generous to his people. Without him, there would be no Nan family today, and we would not be able to have so many spirit beasts.”
“But…” Rong Qi smirked. “Did he allow you to bring out the spirit beasts? He didn’t want to waste so many spirit beasts because he knew you would never come back, so he let you leave the beasts behind. You could check on those who had died, and the moment they died, the contract with the beasts was automatically broken.”
What they had signed were soul contracts.
The contract was valid as long as their soul remains intact.
However…
If a man died, his soul would remain unless someone destroyed it intentionally to break the contract…
The old man walked toward one of the dead men on the ground, reached out with a trembling hand, and touched the old man’s forehead…
Suddenly, his fingers shook, and he raised his head in shock.
“Impossible! The contract is gone… The soul is gone!”
The soul tokens of the people of the Nan family were in their manor master’s hands. They obeyed him, fearing that he would damage their soul tokens!
‘But why?’
They were just out on a mission, and their master not only wanted them dead but had also wiped out their souls in order not to waste the beasts!
“No!” The old man’s voice was sharp and somewhat heartbreaking. “I don’t believe… Manor Master wouldn’t do this to me! He also promised me that when I returned, he would reward me with some powerful spirit beasts! I don’t believe it!”
Rong Qi sneered. ‘Nan Fang is a ruthless man. It is not surprising that he would do such a thing.’
“Believe it or not, I don’t want to follow him anymore. If it wasn’t for the old master being seriously ill in bed, I would have left long ago. I have watched all those old guys I used to drink with die at his hands. Do you know how heartbroken I am?”
